About DFDARTS.COM

Dorothy is a photographer who has stretched the boundaries of traditional photography and embraced the new digital technologies, producing works that are in a sense, multi-media. By combining photography with the capabilities of a digital darkroom and working in programs that allow her to build multi-layered pieces, she transforms her factual photography renditions into expressions of internal emotional conditions, with brilliantly-colored, painterly qualities. Years of study in black and white photography have expanded into a new art form, one with tools that allow for a limitless range of possibilities, challenging Dorothy to continually engage in experimenting and expanding her expressive capabilities.

Where

I am currently living in Bend, OR where I have been for many years now. I am locally represented by Tumalo Art Co, which is located in the Old Mill District in Bend, Oregon.

History

I grew up and went to college in the Midwest, where it was my intention to study art and literature. But, four years later, I graduated with a degree in Piano. A few years passed before my focus turned to the graphic arts. I borrowed a camera, set off on a motorcycle, and was consequently lured into a darkroom. I never came out! Several years of concentrating on black and white photography followed. But in time, the advances in digital technologies gradually inspired me to explore the amazing possibilities that were possible by changing to a digital darkroom. In my wildest dreams, I could not have not have imagined where this journey would take me.
